In [[Generation II]], the character of Proton is, in reality, two characters: an ordinary {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt|grunt}} originally taking his place in [[Slowpoke Well]] and a Rocket Executive encountered in the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]]. These two are amalgamated into Proton for [[Generation IV]], who shares both their single Pokémon.

Proton's position has existed since {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. However, his existence was easy to miss because all male Rocket Executives used the same sprite (now adopted as [[Archer]]'s canonical design) and were not identified by name, making it seem to some like there was only one male Executive. The Rocket Executive (as well as the grunt) Proton is based on was then given a canonical design and an official name in HeartGold and SoulSilver, along with the other three Executives, to distinguish them as individuals. [[Petrel]]'s case is the same.

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation II]], all the Rocket Executives (male and female) went unnamed. In the case of the male Executives, they all shared the same sprite, which eventually led to some confusion among the fans when Proton and [[Petrel]] were revealed. It was believed by many that they were introduced in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. Looking closer shows that the Executive role Proton is filling has existed since {{v2|Gold and Silver|s}}, appearing in the same place in [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] and training {{p|Golbat}}, just like his [[Generation IV]] counterpart. In addition, a {{p|Weezing}} was added to his team, to compensate for his additional role of replacing the {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt|grunt}} that originally participated in the [[Slowpoke Well]] mission, who had the {{p|Koffing}} Proton is initially seen with. Although Proton and Petrel's designs, names, and personalities weren't fleshed-out until Generation IV, they have both technically existed since Generation II.
